Mouse Click To Trigger An Event In Another Program Running Simultaneously
Mar 6, 2010
I'm attempting to convert VB 5.0 source code to VB 2008. The converted code will then be slightly altered to facilitate its incorporation into a larger project that I'm developing in VB 2008. After using the conversion wizard (which is actually written for VB 6.0), I have 49 unresolved issues -- less than I expected. Much has changed since the days of my prowess as a programmer (Fortran in the 70's), so working my way through even as few as 49 issues will be a challenge, and will (no doubt) take me a while.
The UI for the VB 5.0 code I'm converting is a "virtual remote," with control buttons that (when clicked) trigger communication to a USB-connected device. With assistance, I've been able to develop my own "virtual remote," contained within my VB 2008 project. Eventually, I will "substitute" mine for the original. For now, though, I'm wanting to use MY "virtual remote" to trigger the original.
I have the executable for the VB 5.0 program, and can run it simultaneously with my "under-development" VB 2008 code. Problem is: I don't know how to cause a "click" on MY virtual remote to trigger a click on the original virtual remote (which is being "monitored" by the other program).

I have two custom action listers. One that handles Mouse.Click and one that handles Mouse.MouseDown. My question to you is, can I delay the mouse down event so that it does not intefere with the code of the Mouse.Click event? I have tried adding a timer and waiting x amount then setting a bool value to true, but the code executes to fast and it skips the other code.

I have a set of accordian divs (powered by the prototype library) in an asp.net page. I would like to save the state of the accordian, so when a postback event occurs, the same div is open rather than reloading the page entirely and opening the default div.
My plan was to set a page control value with the ID of the open div using the div's toggler click event function, and then fire a click event after postback calling that same div (using the value of the control holding the div ID) as the target. I'm not sure how to fire a javascript click event from vb.net however, and this sure seems like a lame workaround.
1) can you tell me how to fire a javascript click event from the vb.net codebehind page
-or-
2) is there a more elgant way to do this?

I am new to VB.NET, Now i'm working with Events in VB.NET, I have two event methods, Mouse Click and Mouse Down for a single button in a form, I have displyed a message in each of these methods but only mouse down event is triggered. Why Mouse Click is not triggered? Similiarly I Did the same for Mouse Enter and Mouse Move for a particular button, in this case both the events are triggered.

I have a solution in Vb.NET 2008 windows Form with ToolStripMenuItems, but I need to implement menu navigation without any mouse intervention.I only found mouse events In ToolStripMenuItems, MenuStrip, etc.All MenuStrip and ToolStripMenuItems are created programatically, reading user permissions from Database, then add a handler to manage the events, but the client don't want mouse interaction, he wants only keyboard inputs only ![code]

I have a main form that has a dynamically generated treeview and also a panel control. Depending on the selection made within the treeview the panel docks 1 of three diffrent usercontrols which are full sub forms(done for ease of modifing design of sub form rather than layering panels on top of panels).Upon button click withing usercontrol i wish to trigger event within main form.For example delete button wich then triggers to remove current selected node from treeview. code for 1 of three diffrent user controls
Dim ctrlQ As New QuoteUC(TrViewQuotation.SelectedNode)
PnlSubFormDock1.Controls.Add(ctrlQ)
Code for delete button for which i need to raise event.
If MsgBox("Are you sure you wish to delete this customer ?", vbYesNo, "Delete Record") = vbYes Then
Deletecustomer(n)
End If

Private Declare Function GetAsyncKeyState Lib "user32" (ByVal vKey As Long) As Integer
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick

I have a picturebox on the form, when it is clicked, I want the picturebox to fit the size of the form, which can be done by
pic.SizeToFit = true So, the picturebox will automatically change the size.But after that, I want to set pic.SizeToFit = false , I need this because the picturebox is a user control which has a image Pannign feature, and it works only when the picturebox.SizeToFit = false
I can not set it = false in the mouse click event, because I need set it = true, so the pic will change size.basically, what I need is: after mouse click event finished, change SizeToFit = false.One way to do it is in mouse click event, start a timer, after several seconds, set SizeToFit = false. Or, use a thread. It will work. But, is there a more elegant way to do this?

I have a Windows Form application in VB.net 2008 using a picture box to continuously render the video. I'm not able to get click events on top of the rendered video being displayed within the picture box. If I click to the side (still in the picture box, but where there is no video being rendered) then the click event comes through.

I have 2 listboxes on a form. Each listbox has a few items. As you know, I am able to have 1 item selected from each listbox, therefore making it 2 selected items from different listboxes.
I want to create a keyboard + mouse shortcut so I can de-select or change the selection mode of the listbox when Alt is held down and Left button on the mouse is clicked on the selected item. Here is the code that I wrote, which does not work.
Private Sub Form1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseDown
If Control.ModifierKeys = Keys.Alt AndAlso e.Button =

I want to expand it a little bit and add a second timer that runs parallel to the first timer, but is not affected in any way shape or form by the first timer.
Ive tried nesting the second loop in the first loop but the second loop takes 3 seconds to complete (I use thread.sleep(3000)), so I found that it froze the first loop till the second loop finishes. I was reading about system threading (System.Timers.Timer) and it seems like that is the route I want to go.
I wrote this quick as an example:
[Code]...
I cant use the timer1 to set off the second round of events because of the thread.sleep. I was hoping that the code above puts the second thread to sleep while the windows.form.timer continues on ticking every 1000 ms

First, I launch a website in Internet Explorer from VB.net and automatically login the user with ther username and password. As soon as the username and password fields are automated, I send "enter" to the website so it goes to the next website. This part works perfectly. However, my problem is that i want to send a mouse click event, which i have already written, to click a hyperlink on the next website page. I tried a few different things, none of which worked. My program is automatically logging in the user and doing the mouse click event at the same time. I have tried to use the "sleep" command, but the mouse click event is still not executing after the second webpage loads. I have tried using nesting "If, then" statements and that has not worked either. Does anyone know how to make sure the webpage fully loads before executing a sendkeys routine or a mouse click event? This is my code thus far:
If (Search.ComboBox1.Text = "IWR") Then
BlockInput(True)'this disables the mouse and keyboard
Dim IE As New Object
[code].....
There are no errors, everything is just executing all at once instead of letting the second webpage load and then executing the mouse click event.

Im trying to make a program that will automatically send a left mouse click on the current mouse position using a getpixel trigger. The one i made will wait for the pixel color to change and it will trigger the next timer to monitor if an indicator hits the middle of the bar.
This is the example of the bar waiting for a color change:
This is the example of the bar when the indicator comes out

i was wondering how to make subs and functions run simultaneously. For example, if i make a box move from the top to the bottom with a sub called move(byval e as label)
which takes say 3 seconds to move from top to bottom and i have
move(lblfirst)
thread.sleep(500)
move(lblsecond)
how would i make it so that it moves 500 miliseconds after the first one start to move, not 500 milliseconds after the first one finishes?
I tried application.doevents with a looped sleep and raiseevnet, none is working.

Eg. ""vb.net" timer event trigger on purpose". This application is meant to run at all times to download a web page every minute. To avoid freezing the UI, I read that the best solution is to move the code from a While/Sleep loop to a Timer that will be triggered every minute. The problem I have, is that the user must wait for a minute before the event is triggered:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Timer1.Interval = 60000
Timer1.Enabled = True
[CODE]...
Is it possible to force this event to occur instead of waiting for it?

I've used Visual Basic on and off for years, but for some reason this has never crossed my path, though it's probably relatively simple.
I have a program which runs in the background, in the System Tray. (Which is to say it has a NotifyIcon and is Hiding.) Using the Registy, I've added a new item to the right-click menu for certain files (for example PDF) which reads "Accept".
The goal is to have this open the file in my program and have it run the script. The script itself works flawlessly with an Open Dialog box - all it does is change the "comments" on the file. But I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it without the dialog box.

I need to create a program that can run code each time the user clicks, I can't use windows forums since its on another program. If the code can detect global mouse clicks(system wide) or only on one program it's fine.
I've done some digging and it looks like windows API can solve my problem but i really suck at using windows API and it looks like SetWindowsHookEx() can solve my problem but i don't know how to use it correctly. This is the code from Pinvoke that I modified to hopefully work for a mouse click. i'm having trouble getting this to work.
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim t As New MouseHook
